$450ish in June. Count me in.
From what I understand, $450 is the MSRP. So the street price is probably mid $300’s if I had to guess. But that’s only a guess. I’m a huge fan of the 710 so I would have no problem paying that.So the base (production?) model with the grayish alum handle is priced at MSRP $450? If so, what would be the retail price? $300 or so am I right? Too steep a price to me. If it were titanium scale at $300 (keeping everything else the same), I'd buy one, maybe two.
Or $450 is already the retail price?
That’s more than I was hoping it’d be. But I can’t say I’m surprised. I still want one.Jumping on Knifecenter it appears MAP is 90% MSRP now, so that $450 MSRP base model will be $405 street/MAP
I also agree, but would definitely prefer 154CM over D2.I love the original 710 with its black G10 and D2.
I paid $170 for the black/blue m390 exclusive in .. 2013 I think. Looks like that's ~$223 in today's dollars. Late edit: paid $150 in 2012 for the m390 black handle, so that'd be $200 today.That’s more than I was hoping it’d be. But I can’t say I’m surprised. I still want one.
I’m extremely envious. I like the new aluminum handle styling as well. June seems so far away.I paid $170 for the black/blue m390 exclusive in .. 2013 I think. Looks like that's ~$223 in today's dollars.
If I can find a second hand one of these for $300ish I'll grab it (but I imagine that's unlikely). I like the look of the alu handles personally. I still have 2 or 3 m390s to fall back on fortunately if not.
The only 710 I have is the KW exclusive M390 blue/black g10 one. Wish I grabbed at least one when 710 was being discontinued (I recall the discounted price was $130ish).I paid $170 for the black/blue m390 exclusive in .. 2013 I think. Looks like that's ~$223 in today's dollars.

Oh well, they priced me out of this one, like most of their knives lately.Someone on FB said:
Middle one is base model. It will be S90V and an MSRP of $450. The black is a limited, Magnacut and MSRP of $650. The other is a Gold Class Damascus, and I think MSRP of $1500.
Edit: From the same conversation, the base model is aluminum btw, not titanium...in case you thought it might be from the price
I'm more excited by the new axis lock that's supposed to be stronger? I want to see what it looks like.
